Hi Guys,

I was searching for modification options for my Pajero. As usual suspension kits were one of the options. Instead of lifting the car, my concern is to get a smoother ride and more shock absorbtion (every Pajero owner would agree on how stiff the stock suspensions are and how disturbing it is to ride on humps and gravel tracks). I found Old Man Emu kits, which only lifts the car 35-40 mm. The link is below:

My question is; will i have a smoother performance and comfort for my ride if i go for these kits? As i mentioned my prior intention is not lifting the car, but a better and smoother suspension performance.

Thanks in advance...

Definitely you will not get a smoother performance. It depends mainly on, how often you're driving over the grass... Stay with your current stock equipment, and you'll see, as you may reconsider to replace in the near future your whole car for something else, as did many of our members before.

keep your pajero stock and enjoy ..... for the meantime you can read thru this thread for more info on simple and required modifications for your pajero

in general , all performance suspension kits ( regardless of brand & lift ) are usually stiffer , harder and less comfortable ( specially on road ) comparing to stock suspension .

I read the topic previously and was very useful so thanks. It seems for the pajero the most important and must do thing is a skid plate for the rear bumper, and to learn how to throttle :)

Thanks for the quick responses and valuable information. I will keep the stock kit...

a cheaper modification is to remove the rear scoop before every drive, its 9 or 10 bolts and it will take you 5 minutes to remove.

Last time in Eid i bent out and actually broke the grey piece a bit. For the rest of the journey we removed it on spot and yes it was very easy. This week i will have a new one installed and my plan till a skid plate installed is removing it every time as you mentioned.

One thing i wonder is, why they need that much screw to install something that weak.
